I am using the stat structure returned by the FTS routines. This does not give nanosecond resolution, unless it is in the __unused1, __unused2, and __unused3 members. How portable are these ? Or is my RedHat 7.3 system just too out of date ? Also I would not know what to do with the nanosecond resolution if I kept it. The date formating routine I borrowed just accepts time_t input. > I suggest using the 'long-iso' time style as the default format, e.g., > "2004-10-02 15:30". > There's no real need to put that ugly "T" in the output. I agree that the "T" is ugly. However, I wanted a default format that did not include any whitespace, so that all those utilities that split fields on whitespace would regard the date & time as a single field. My original, non-standards complying draft had a period "." to join the date and the time. > For consistency the time stamp format option should use the same > option syntax as 'ls'.

If / when I produce my next version I will adopt this. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
